Oklahoma Gov, Sparks Protest over the Banning of Children being able to have a full permanent sex change, is he wrong or right?

[Anonymous]

Today their has been outrage over Trans-Children and whether or not they should be limited to do a permanent sex change, until the age of 21 or not.

Personally I do not agree anyone should have to wait until their 21. I think at 18 a person is an adult & they can do whatever he or she decides to do with their bodies. But with the exception that anything before the age of 18 is a minor and is to early to make such a permanent decision for such care. I feel medical should be limited in that aspect if you're infact a minor.

A lot of people have argued over the years that people were not protesting for children to have a full gender sex change. As we can see it's true, people do want children to have full access to all medical health rights & care. So that children can make a full change, if they decide.

Do you think this is wrong or right?

Please move this to Society & Politics, it should not be in sexuality. Thank you

I don't think he is wrong. Gender transitioning and sex changes are nothing to be taken lightly. The issue is that people have fetishized and turned it into a trend thay now it is like a popular thing to do when in reality it is a life altering and potentially life threatening decision.

Children are way too young and not developed enough to make a decision of that magnitude with taking into consideration the fallout and repercussions in the long run. Kids need to be able to have fun, grow and learn on their own, not have their mindsets warped or influenced by something like this. They need to be the ones to make that decision willingly after understanding what comes with it. Not their parents. Not their teachers. Them. This is not something that should even be discussed with them until they ask about it, same goes of sexuality and health. When kids learn something or are curious, they ask.

When I see kids wanting to do this transition at such a young age, I can't help but be skeptical. How much of it is them wanting to do it minus the influence and how much is it pressure if not borderline abuse from parent or other authority figures?

To go with that. If the age of 16 is needed for a driver's license, 18 for being a legal adult and able to marry, and 21 to drink alcohol. Big life moments, but a gender transitioning is as young 5? Get the fuck out of here. Kids change their minds way too much as it is. If a kid wants to transition, then have it be legal at 18.

This is opening the doors to child abuse and unwanted influence from others to allow something like that for kids. Let kids be kids and the parents and adults need to sod off with this crap.

He is right. These kids will never be any gender other than the one they are born no matter how much cosmetic surgery they get or hormones they take. They will also lose the ability to have kids and will never enjoy a sexual relationship. Nobody ever mentions how many transgenders regret their decision.

I mean we don't trust someone under the age of 18 to vote, get married. We also don't allow children to enter into a contract without a grown legal guardian.

People can't be trusted to begin drinking before the age of 21.

But we believe we can trust children to decide to change their bodies by removing their penises and adding breasts. Or getting a penis added and removing their breasts, taking hormones that will alter everything about themselves before the age of 18🤔

Make this make sense to me?

I have nieces and nephews who love to make believe and use their imaginations. It's how children's minds learn and expand.

Last weekend I watched my niece pretend she was a polar bear. She actually believed she was. If she could have taken a pill that would actually make her a polar bear, I believe she would have because she was having so much fun pretending and using her imagination.

What kind of sick person believes we should allow children to choose to become polar bears, for the rest of their lives, when they are too immature to understand what that actually means? People's brains are not fully developed until age 25, so I don't think 21 is too old to give them the right to make a life altering choice that they may very well regret for the rest of their lives.

We owe it to our children to top this insanity.

Kids do impulsive things. If somebody makes fun of them on Facebook they will get a sex change operation. It maked sense to make them wait until they are more mature before making that decision. Also, they need to fund it themselves. The government has no place in funding cosmetic surgery.

[lightbulb27]

even 21 is low, but I accept that given it's their emotional torment.

Agree, have to protect people from themselves and unscrulous Dr's.

Sex changes and hormone blockers for children should be banned and there should be a severe penalty for people that do it, such as life in prison of the death penalty.

[CaptainSmartass]

I think he's right. You shouldn't be able to have a sex change until you're 25 and have been diagnosed with that gender dysphoria (I think that's what it's called) after other conditions have been ruled out.

Simples...

The government should never get involved in people's medical and personal lives.

[ThomasDavid1989]

The government telling people what they can and can't do. Huh. It's like Nazi Germany or something, right?

[DrawingBlanks]

Anybody that thinks it's okay to mutilate a child's genitals should be hung by their neck with barbed wire.

He's 100% right. Fuck these trans groomers.
